Soft Naturals speed test !

I made some "soft" Natural stones test
Soft naturals is usually super nice for Knifes and make very good haze finish that we all like on Kasumi knifes !
But they work very good on westerns too because speed is bit higher on those.
In the video:
Takashima lv 2, Hakka lv 2,5 , Kizuyama lv 3 (it is bit harder then the rest) , Ohira suita lv 2, Ozuku lv 2,5, Hideriyama lv 2,5, Hideriyama range suita lv 2,5

I think the finest of these stones was Kizuyama lv 3 and Ozuku, but really not that much !
But for speed Range suita nd other Hideriyama was winers
I have used it on Blue 2 steel in the video.
But i have also tested them on Honyaki, speed was the same as on kasumi blades.
